Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is a medical emergency which can cause acute respiratory failure. The diagnosis and treatment of DAH should be carried out as soon as possible. DAH has various causes such as vasculitis, infections, pesticides intoxication, barotrauma, diffuse alveolar damage, pulmonary embolism and may be associated with the use of anticoagulants (1). Warfarin therapy is a rare cause of DAH (1). We aimed to present a 69 year-old male patient who developed diffuse alveolar hemorrhage as a complication of warfarin therapy used for valve replacement. After diagnosis of DAH, warfarin treatment was discontinued and fresh frozen plasma, metilprednisolone, vitamin K were administered during mechanical ventilation therapy. The patient was responded well and INR decreased to therapeutic value. DAH should be remembered during warfarine therapy to avoid challenging situations.
